I was sitting with someone yesterday who knows I’m an avid reader and asked what my “favorite” books are. Well, there’s like 100, but here’s my must read shortlist:
Non-fiction
- On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins. This is hands down the most fascinating book I’ve read in years.
- Small is the new big by Seth Godin
- Founders at Work by Jessica Livingston
- The Life and Battles of Saigo Takamori by Mark Ravina
- My Job Went To India and All I got was this lousy book by Chad Fowler
- Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell
- Reagan: A life in letters Kiron K Skinner
Fiction
- Enders Game by Orsen Scott Card. Just read it, you’ll see.
- Foundation by Isaac Asimov
- The Positronic Man by Issac Asimov
- Geek Mafia by Rick Dakan
- Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson
- Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson
- The Precipice by Ben Bova
There’s more, but that should keep you busy for a while 🙂
